Rampage set records in 84-65 win

GRAND RAPIDS -- The Grand Rapids Rampage climbed back into the Arena Football League American Conference playoff race with an 84-65 win over the Colorado Crush Saturday night at Van Andel Arena.

Grand Rapids, which improved to 4-10 with the win, is now temporarily in the fifth spot in the playoff picture with two game left to play in the regular season.

The Rampage used a huge second quarter to gain control of Saturday's game, scoring 37 points in the quarter. It set a franchise record for points scored in a quarter, and was the second most in AFL history.

That offensive outburst turned a 10-7 deficit after one quarter into a 44-24 lead at halftime.

Grand Rapids quarterback James MacPherson threw four of his 10 touchdowns on the night in that second quarter.

MacPherson also set a franchise record. Those 10 touchdowns thrown sets a new mark for touchdowns thrown in a game. He breaks a record that he held with Clint Dolezel at nine. 
